Cornucopia In classical antiquity, the cornucopia (from Latin ""cornu copiae""), also called the horn of plenty, was a symbol of abundance and nourishment, commonly a large horn-shaped container overflowing with produce, flowers or nuts.

To relieve the pain, Vulcan used a hammer to split Jupiter's head and, from the cleft, Minerva emerged, whole, adult, and in full battle armor.

"Craterellus cornucopioides Craterellus cornucopioides, or horn of plenty, is an edible mushroom. It is also known as the black chanterelle, black trumpet, trompette de la mort (French), trombetta dei morti (Italian) or trumpet of the dead. The Cornucopia, in Greek mythology, referred to the magnificent horn of the nymph Amalthea's goat (or of herself in goat form), that filled itself with whatever meat or drink its owner requested. It has become the symbol of plenty. A possible origin for the name ""trumpet of the dead"" is that the growing mushrooms were seen as being played as trumpets by dead people"

Saturn asked her to nurse the child once more before he swallowed it, and the milk that spurted when she pressed her nipple against the rock eventually became the Milky Way. In the"

Ops In ancient Roman religion, Ops or Opis (Latin: ""Plenty"") was a fertility deity and earth goddess of Sabine origin.

Here moreover Augustine cites the verses devoted to Jupiter by Quintus Valerius Soranus, while hypothesising ""Iuno"" (more adept in his view as a breastfeeder), i.e. Rumina instead of Ruminus, might be nothing else than ""Iuppiter"": """"Iuppiter omnipotens regum rerumque"

"Mars is usually considered to be the son of Jupiter and Juno. However, in a version of his birth given by Ovid, he was the son of Juno alone. Jupiter had usurped the mother's function when he gave birth to Minerva directly from his forehead (or mind); to restore the balance, Juno sought the advice of the goddess Flora on how to do the same. Flora obtained a magic flower (Latin ""flos"", plural ""flores"", a masculine word) and tested it on a heifer who became fecund at once. She then plucked a flower ritually using her thumb, touched Juno's belly,"

Juno, Jupiter's jealous wife, discovers that Callisto has a son named Arcas, and believes it is by Jupiter. Juno then transforms the beautiful Callisto into a bear so she no longer attracts Jupiter.
